These early lectures reconstruct events between the origin of the
earth and the beginning of recorded history and include a core
investigation of the origins, achievements and fate of the Atlanteans
and Lemurians. These remarkable "lost" root races developed the first
concepts of "good" and "evil," manipulated the forces of nature, laid
the groundwork of all human legal and ethical systems, and defined and
nurtured the distinctive yet complementary powers of men and women that
brought humankind, many centuries ago, to its highest artistic,
intellectual, and spiritual attainments.
